1) Researchers analyzed a newly discovered 70 million year old egg from the Late Cretaceous period to determine if it belonged to a bird or dinosaur. 2) By comparing the shapes of known dinosaur and bird eggs, they found the egg had an oval shape that was intermediate between the two, suggesting it may have belonged to an early bird. 3) The research provides insight into the evolution of birds and their eggs from dinosaurs and sheds light on the origins of Easter eggs, which resemble modern bird eggs more than dinosaur eggs.
